So that's what the big announcment is probably about:

http://www.companyofheroes.com/blog/2015/12/17/go4-coh2-esl-tournament-series




We’re excited to announce that ESL and Relic are joining forces to bring Company of Heroes 2 to the world’s largest eSports company’s entry level tournament series: the ESL Go4 Cups. Three full months of Weekly Cups and Monthly Finals for North America and Europe await those who want to prove themselves on the battlegrounds of esports competitions against aspiring players and established pros. All events will feature the best commentators and analysts from the Company of Heroes 2 community.

To help aspiring Company of Heroes 2 players ease into the frontlines of esports contests, ESL is hosting a Kick-Off Cup on December 27. Sign-ups for this exhibition tournament open on Monday, December 21st Here.

Players will be able to settle scores at a high level of competitive play in weekly competitions which will conclude at Monthly Finals. The Weekly Go4 Cups will have a first place prize of $100/€100 for America and Europe respectively, and will run from January 3rd to March 27th, 2016. Three Monthly Finals will see this prize pool more than triple and will award $250/€250 for first place and $100/€100 for second place at events hosted on February 10th, March 9th and April 13th.

To learn more about how to sign-up and play in the Go4 Cups, please check out our ESL Player's Journey blog post and the full list of Tournament Rules on the ESL website for more details.



WEEKLY PRIZES

As mentioned above, each week there will be a Go4 Cup with a first place prize of $100/€100. Each Weekly Cup will have an undefined number of Qualifier Rounds where players will play in 1v1, single-elimination matches until only 8 players remain. For the final 8 players, the Quarter, Semi and Grand Finals will be played in a best of 3 series to determine the winner of the tournament. The top 64 players in the tournament will earn points which will be used to determine each player's bracket seeding in future tournaments as well as each player's ESL ladder ranking. The top 8 players on the ESL ladders will be selected to participate in the Monthly Finals.

I'll give an eternal gratitude and favor to anyone who can document all the RNG plane crashes into squads/tanks in this tourney. Bonus points if you can video clip the casters/commentators reactions.

Say goodbye to the hipster CoH2 community you guys know and love, ghosting and abuse will now be at a all time high and non-meta players like Red Wings will slowly fade away

We're mainstream now

This is great! There is also time for patches and fixes.
So, in theory, everything is going to be alright.

If Relic wants this to succeed, then they must make hotfixes more often, and that is also good for me, who are not a competitive player. :thumb:

Good news. Hopefully it'll be a success and they'll want to expand it.

whats about teamgames? :huhsign:
Have you ever seen a 1v1 esports tournament in CS:GO or dota/lol? Its all about teamplay.

but at least they did one step in the right direction... next steps:

- involve more players in pre-patch builds
- make Coh2 f2p (Wehrmacht and Soviets)

CoH2 and CS:GO/Dota 2/LoL are totally different games and hardly comparable. 1vs1 is certainly the most competitive mode in this game.

Good news by the way!

Let the games begin.


Ami will you be part of the casting team? I liked your OCF streams a lot. I know a lot of people don't like you zomming and stuff but I'm watching to have some fun not just see who's winning. Keep up the good work! COH 2 Community has a lot to thank you for!!!
